Whaller – create private social networks for your org and community▲41
We've built a platform that enables private individuals and organizations to create their custom social network. We deployed a large range of features : you can chat, store your folders in our file boxes (works with Dropbox and Google Drive), assign tasks and display them in a Trello-like Kanban, create a portal for your organization... We're trying to gather some feedback in order to improve our service. Here are a few screenshots : http://imgur.com/gallery/EFanm. <feel free to visit our website at https://whaller.com
